Lowered

The 4x4 look of the R56 has been really bothering me and I have been wondering if that's one of the main reason why I have been disliking the design. I decided to do some photoshopping to simulate what I believe the ride height should have been. I also went ahead and painted the aerokit arches/skirt black as I don't like the break in the trim colors. Thoughts?

I really like how it looks lowered, but it also makes me realize that that aero front bumper is too darn BIG for the car.

Maybe if the whole kit - and wheel arches - was painted, and the car was lowered, AND had a set of 18" wheels, it might look ok.
